Right out of the door it was understood by all that there would be a separation of church and state. The English colonies had lived under a state religion and a king. The result was they knew the problems from a state run religion and the discrimination that comes with it. There are many religions in the world and a secular society and government allows for freedom of religion. Not making a state run religion in the constitution allows for freedom to choose religion or not to choose. The founding fathers were very open to other religions and attended synagogues as well as other churches.
